Goodell Must Go

It is time to find a new commissioner. This is something that I have wanted to see happen for the better part of the last 4-5 years. The NFL, like the rest of the United States, suffers a huge opioid problem, yet Goodell seems much more focused on players smoking weed. This man in the past has treated marijuana use worse than domestic abuse on multiple occasions. Careers have been ended by marijuana abuse while domestic abuse has been treated as some petty offense. For example, Giants kicker Josh Brown, was arrested and charged with assaulting his wife at the time. Josh Brown assaulted her a few dozen times and according to his now ex-wife, once while she was pregnant. Do you know how many games he was suspended for? One. The flip side now, Ezekiel Elliot gets suspended for 6 games off the notion that "it is probably more likely he is guilty than he is not" as Max Kellerman would say. There was a video of Ray Rice punching a woman with some serious force and do you know how many games he was suspended for? Two! Guys in the league smoke some weed and get handed a 4 game suspension off the bat. Can I meet Goodell and just let him explain his stupidity to me because none of this makes sense. Players get hurt throughout their career and of course it is okay that they get addicted to opioid pain medication but god forbid they ever smoke a little weed in their off time. Goodell has also shown multiple cases of being tougher on n certain players than others, for what? Predetermined biases? Especially guys like Marshawn Lynch, where Goodell tried to find any reason to fine him. Do not even get me started on the Kaepernick situation. You are the commissioner of the NFL and it takes you this long to try to do anything about this situation that is not only affecting your business, but the businesses that sponsor you as well? I am not saying he should suspend players or anything like that, I am just referring to the fact that it took so long to address the issue at all. Roger Goodell is not a leader and not for the players. His actions show that he is nothing more than a power hungry man abusing the tools in which he possesses. Then he has the audacity to ask for 50 mil a year on top of health insurance and a private jet like he is some god or savior that the NFL just could not live without when he is one of the prime reasons the NFL popularity is down. The man gets boos every year at the draft! This became more of a rant but I am tired of seeing him do this to the players and the NFL.
